I'm back!

Hope everyone had a great holiday season! I'm home again, back to work and ready to resume the blogging.

Looks like I'm done day counting for ZG. Right now I'm around 102,000 words. I'd guess about another 2-3k and this monster will be done!!! I worked over the holidays and while I can't claim completion just yet, I can say that I produced 100k words in two months and got 1/3 of the manuscript edited (in terms of draft 1 editing, not final editing). Hot diggity!

From here I need to finish the last chapter and the second half of my epilogue. I may start editing before I'm completely finished just to break things up a little. Once I finish finish, I plan on doing a full read through, start to finish. Crunch time is here. Only 28 days until the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest opens.

Serious Business.

Anyone have a spare bowl I can use to catch my eyeballs when they fall out of my head?

About Me

I write for an employee magazine by day, and when I'm not making corporate propaganda more fun to read, I write fiction. I also play way too many video games, am obsessed with Riddick from the movie Pitch Black, and drink lots of Diet Coke with Lime.

The Screaming Guppy

Why the Screaming Guppy?

Once upon a time, a circle of friends decided it would be fun to have nicknames, more specifically, animal nicknames. As names trickled in, there were those such as The Crafty Badger, The Wiley Minx, The Fox and The Party Weasel. Then, in the twists and turns of the maze of cruel humor, the last name dished out was The Screaming Guppy. Why? Because, at times, I tend to be loud when I get excited about something and they thought it would be funny to make me a feeder fish. (That and I once had a pet guppy that refused to die.) Unfortunately, the name as stuck and despite many appeals I still remain the only non-mammal in the group.
